Pfft. Palace will deploy Mile Jedinak in the apparently unheard of role of 'defensive midfielder', and United will be positively flummoxed by this crazy new development.
This last day of the window is going to be a killer.
Got to say. Jedinak has really impressed me, exactly the type of player Arsenal could do with!
You're right (don't let this go to your head).
"Bilbao regional newspaper El Correo caused a whole load of fuss when they revealed on Saturday night that Ander Herrera had told Athletic Club Bilbao he wanted to take the opportunity on offer to him and join Manchester United. According to the article on the newspaper's website, released to advertise their newspaper, the midfielder had informed Athletic of his desire to transfer to the current Premier League champions.
They said that more would be in their Sunday edition and they weren't leading anyone on. In today's newspaper they begin their article by saying 'Ander Herrera is in the hands of Manchester United', it's very promising news for fans of the Manchester club.
El Correo claim that personal terms have already been agreed, which would see Herrera earn around €4m a year on a five year deal. Manchester United will have to finalise the situation with Athletic Club to make the deal happen and that will cost them.
There is no talk of Athletic Club demanding Herrera pays the clause personally, thus invoking the income tax problem. However, the Spanish club do want Manchester United to pay a youth levy which would see the total cost rise to around €38m. If David Moyes is serious about the deal then he needs to make sure there are no hesitations over this, the player wants to keep a good relationship with his club and Manchester United would be best served by keeping them onside. The newspaper don't think there will be a problem with the fee.
The money couldn't be processed on Sunday so if this deal does happen, which is looking increasingly likely, it will be done on transfer deadline day. The regional newspaper explain that Athletic Club won't stand in the way of Manchester United because they are a great club who have gone about things the right way. They later go on to say that everyone in Bilbao knows Herrera will be welcome at the club and they seem to be proud to think he could follow in the footsteps of Paul Scholes.
It all appears very friendly and if everything goes to plan El Correo expect Herrera to become a Manchester United player on Monday."
Please make it so.

From what I've heard they're usually spot on with Bilbao related stuff. They were the first to break Llorente -> Juve a couple months before it happened. Here's hoping.
I'll just stop, but you have to leave my message (and delete this one if you want to).
Herrera = exactly what we lack and need. He destroyed us when we played Bilbao.
Been playing deeper since, tackles like a beast. Reacts like a short tempered one mind.
Only side who tried to buy him was Dortmund and he said no. so I would be amazed (and furious) if that was true.
That'd make more sense. Who's to say it was even taken today?
